Not to Tarnish the Good Doctor But...

 For a Christian family man, he was also quite a cheat. Coretta Scott King was the true Christian strength behind the man's work.  He and his father were ministers, sure, but her religious background was much much stronger, and after his early death, she was the continued strength and disnity of the movement.

I think Mrs King would be rolling over in her grave today as the split in her family, and the way Dr. King's legacy on non-violence and non-judgement based on skin color has been dismantled to serve the immediate financial needs of those who don't have the strong Christian strength Mrs. King possessed.

Many who quote my father now would have hated him then. He was assassinated for working to end war, poverty, and racism, which some erroneously claim he’d ignore today. But he was a Christ-inspired, love-fueled, justice-seeking, globally-minded, nonviolent revolutionary.

As more time pasess, I think, like with Kennedy, the myth of the man will continue to crumble which does not in any way take away from the accomplishments that came to the nation after the assasinations of both men, who became our flawed 60s mythical figures thanks to the women who survived them and preserved the legacy of their work
